I keep seeing this young mans name mentioned in trade talk...this is a young man who, albeit through injury, cracked into Hawthorns 22 during the season for some senior action...and ill go as far to say that he was just as/ if not more impressive than Langford in those games and people are...
Tom Waterhouse offering $4 for the Hawks win...(increased offer).
Usually I worry when betting agencies do things like this (betting on sport can only lead to corruption some way or the other), but last week he offered increased odds for us to beat Port!!! Obviously Tom got burnt last week by...
It wasnt my story to start with...but like I always say, "never let an exaggeration get in the way of a good story" ;)
My fish was this oo------------------------oo BIG!! :)
Final quater - when the game was already sewn up...he gets the ball (maybe not 45 out, but at least 30 out) runs towards their goal and just kicks it through on the snap so we get another kick in...2008 GF ;)
Cheers will edit now.
Love this story but :)
Underrated outside of Hawthorn as a player a little Buckenara?? You never hear him spoken about much, or at the time was he given fan fare in whatever media they had in those days??
Ill start...
my greatest memory. In 1991 I was 7yrs old and we lived in Melb...for some reason dad (a massive Hawk) decided we would fly to Perth for the 1st and only time in our lives on GF weekend. 1991 Hawks vs West Coast - with Dad and me a little 7yr old about the only Hawk supporters...
Following on from the article posted on the AFL website this morning...
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-09-24/your-grand-final-heroes,
The author deemed Bob Keedie as Hawthorns greatest GF hero...im not arguing this, in fact I got chills just reading the little excerpt of Bobs feets in the 71...
bump ;)
Once I started looking through the pictures in this thread I started brimming with confidence about this weekends game...what a club the HFC :) even if we dont win they can never take away our clubs history...inspiring
Fair call...he doesnt have 2 put it on...he can merely take the jumper off him and than throw it on the ground, walk all over it, smear it in the mud and go join celebrations topless : )
Rioli In
Thats all i can add ATM - but even now Im starting to doubt myself...his "role" includes stints in the midfield, usually center square than drift straight forward again...Look you cant worry about him breaking down during the game, cause well than you wouldnt ever pick him in important...
Ouch!!! I forgot how he looked in our jumper...the one i had with 23 on the back unfortunately found its way to a flame. Than eventually the garbage :/
Bold avatar Shakespeare...hope it is how he looks after the 14' GF siren sounds...and he swaps jumpers with Roughy after the loss and realizes...
Reckon against the Cats our tackles stuck, and were ferocious...I dont think the boys necessarily tackled less against Port or had their tackles broken....what they did not do when tackling was to focus on shutting the ball down/ pin the arms so the opposition cant, whilst tackled, direct the...
I know its not football anymore more...but how bout giving someone like Spangher a spot in the GF team with a job of using some old school off the ball tactics...u know what i will just come out and say it....Send someone to put the DOG out of COMMISSION...and yeah they will cop weeks, but at...
Thing is his not at 80% physically...his around 100% (well as close to 100 as u can be with dodgy hammies)...but he is fine
His mental state is probably around 80% - but 10mins into the game - a goal under his belt and a few contested possessions later that will all sort itself out...CYRIL MUST...
LOL...seriously i gotta question people on here sometimes....guys its CYRIL RIOLI!!! LMAO - top 5 player in the comp...and is not a midfielder who is required to win 25-30 possessions. His main role like Puopolo needs to be able to put on forward pressure, and the sheer presence of him exerts...
Ohhh make no mistake he has at least one hell of a new trick cryptor...its called contested marking, strong one grab, no fumble hands out on the lead, powerful body positioning in the marking contest without giving away free kicks...he never did that at Hawthorn or against Gibbo before...make no...
